Trump takes nomination with history of his attack
At their convention in Milwaukee, the Republicans officially nominated Donald Trump as their Presidential candidate. Trump accepted, promised delegates a victory, and then for the "first and only time," described how the assassination attempt against him at a campaign rally the previous Saturday felt.
Donald Trump officially accepted the Republican Party's nomination for President. "In four months, we will achieve an incredible victory," he said to great applause at the Republican Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He wanted to be "President for all of America, not half of America." "The discord and division in our society must be healed."
In his acceptance speech, Trump also spoke about the attempted assassination attempt on him at a campaign rally the previous Saturday. He would only tell the story once, he said, because it was too painful to do so again. "I knew it was very serious that we were attacked," the 78-year-old said. "In some way, I felt safe because I had God on my side. (...) I shouldn't be here tonight." The audience then began to chant "But, you should be here!" Trump then observed a moment of silence for the attendee killed at the campaign rally.
Trump was shot at and slightly wounded in the ear at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. According to police reports, besides the alleged shooter, a spectator was killed, and two others were seriously injured.
Despite the recent assault on Donald Trump at a campaign rally, he delivered a powerful acceptance speech for the US Presidency Election 2024, expressing his desire to serve as President for all America and heal societal division. Regardless of the harrowing experience, Trump assured the audience that he felt safe due to his belief in God and should continue to be in their presence.
